| Description of the problem | While driving on interstate highway 70 in the middle of denver, we hit a small expansion joint. The steering wheel was shaking so violently i couldn't hardly keep a hold of it to steer. I began braking and when i got down to 25 mph it stopped. My speed wasn't excessive, i was doing the 65 mph limit. It has done this "death wobble" twice since then, and now i am apprehensive to drive it on the interstate. I will make an appointment with our local ford dealer soon to look it over, but honestly i don't have any hopes to a remedy. I was hoping to report this, and hopefully with the many others that are having the same issue, ford may have to recall these trucks. Unfortunately, someone will have to perish to get any action from ford. Thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
